Decent watch, could watch again, but can’t confidently recommend.

While they’re very different movies, I tend to get this mixed up with “She’s Out of My League”. They’re both decent movies, they’re funny enough, but they’re both forgettable and I don’t think you’re missing out if you skip either.

My biggest problem with this movie is that there is a wildly violent crime spree throughout the movie. I’m not talking about simple trespassing, or even under-age drinking (though, I think it applies to my point) there is physical assault, jokes about “date-rapey” behavior, use of cocaine, threats to life, severe destruction of property, forced entry, and I think illegal tracking, quite a bit is just done openly in front of adults / authority figures, and at one point in uniform. It’s one thing to be a little lenient and let kids be kids, but graduating high schoolers are probably 18, adults, and it doesn’t make sense to not arrest this idiot. On top of that, to create a character like that in the moment, then he must have a long history of crimes.

I’m actually a fan of the story, cringey as it may be. I love an underdog story, and this is a powerful “coming of age” story for at least 3 different characters, but as the premise is that it is an unbelievable situation, and they casted and that caste delivered just a little too well. They specifically don’t play well off of each other because the performances are actually so good as characters, and the characters barely mesh, even as the movie continues.

The movie also undercuts the protagonist at the oddest times. While we’re supposed to relate to one of the boys (or possibly Beth Cooper) there are several points where it makes them look even more pathetic or jerks (in her case) and it really takes me out of the movie. I think it is better to have irredeemable characters than characters that vary on their relate-ability like this movie does.

I think you could have a fun little watch with this, but there are so many other things I would suggest: “Superbad”, “Can’t Hardly Wait”, “She’s All That”, “Booksmart”, “Eurotrip” for a start.

_I Love You, Beth Cooper_ is honestly pretty atypical for your American Teen Rom-Com, but the things I hated about it are still the things that I hate about American Teen Rom-Coms at large.

_Final rating:★★ – Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

What Did Critics Expect?
Come on, this is a high school comedy the way they used to do them back in the ’80s! This is not John Hughes territory, as you might be led to believe upon seeing “Home Alone” director Chris Columbus at the helm. No, this is another breed of ’80s comedy. This is more “Three O’Clock High” than “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your taste. The humor here is broad and unsophisticated, for the most part, but fits with the brisk pacing and sunny tone of the film. This movie invites you to have a good time along with the cast. It throws you in the middle of a heightened reality/unlikely scenario (most geeks do not suddenly grow a pair and profess their love for the hottest girl in school during their valedictorian speech) and beckons you to simply enjoy the ride. While the films of John Hughes endeavor to depict a realistic panoramic view into the teenage mind, taking stereotypes and turning them inside out, this film, and its grandaddy “Three O’Clock High” do not carry such aspirations. They are fantasy, pure and true, and are all about having a good time. If the characters are two dimensional, so what? If the plot is threadbare, so what? Character development and story arc are not reasons to see a movie like “I Love You Beth Cooper.” This is just a classic homespun yarn, taking place in Anywhere, USA, about a geek who outsmarts a bully and gets the girl. If you expected more, you’re going to be disappointed. This is the kind of movie that could work just as well as a cartoon. It’s a zippy, predictable ride from point A to point B, but the journey is not lacking in entertainment value. If you, like me, are a fan of “Three O’Clock High” and on many-a-day would watch it over “Bueller,” then you’re in for a treat because this is practically a remake albeit with the addition of a love interest.

A Nutshell Review: I Love You, Beth Cooper
Thumb through a video store catalog, and there are a dime a dozen of many teen comedies out there that you’ll be hard pressed to find something that either didn’t deal with hard partying, road trips, one crazy night of post-graduation party, self-discovery, friendship and the likes. In fact, I Love You, Beth Cooper, has almost all those cliché moments filled with stereotypical characters, but under the direction of Chris Columbus, this story by Larry Doyle actually came across in quite enjoyable terms, thanks to what I thought made the movie – a line that was uttered upon stark realization, and the fear as expressed by the titular character, which made it quite distinct and standing out amongst the competition.

But first, the crazy premise that became the catalyst of everything laid out in the film. Imagine if you’re nursing a huge crush on the school flower and have absolutely no guts to go introduce yourself to her. On what’s effectively the last day of school, as valedictorian, you seize the opportunity to express your feelings toward her, as suggested by your best friend, lest you allow not doing so become the largest regret of your life. You buy the idea, and declare your love (yes, even if you have no iota of that person’s character at all) to her in front of the entire school and witnessed by teachers, peers and parents, while at the same time, insulting your enemies. So on one hand, you crafted some mindshare into the object of your desire, and on the other, you’ve made a slew of enemies ever ready to bay for your blood.

So it becomes one crazy night for Denis Cooverman (Paul Rust) and his best friend Rich (Jack Carpenter) who has to battle his school reputation of being gay, while getting acquainted with Beth (Hayden Panettiere) and her posse Cammy (Lauren London) and Treece (Lauren Storm) when they turn up for his un-happening graduation party, before proceeding to show him and Rich what could possibly be the wildest night of their lives, especially for the nerds. It might seem like the usual revenge of the nerds styled comedy with its set pieces, but it is not about getting the girl and riding into the sunset, or about getting laid as most teen comedies seem to be obsessed with these days. In fact, it’s more about surviving through the night, given the determined pursuit of a psychotic, buffed up boyfriend (Shawn Roberts) high on drugs, while getting to know one another.

While Larry Doyle had fueled the story with plenty of stereotypes, such as the rich proud bitch, the lead cheerleader who’s all sugar and spice, the military-jock boyfriend of hers, the nerds, the bimbo posse etc, what he managed to do as the film progressed, is to smash those stereotypes away, well most of them anyway. What was ace in the film, were the key characters who you’d probably identify with amongst yourself or your peers. Paul Rust brought out the everyday average brainy teenager without being too whiny or irritate the heck out of you, and you’d find yourself rooting for him despite the many loser-type situations his Denis got himself into. Panettiere would be familiar to fans of TV series Heroes, and her cheerleader is sans powers except that her Beth drives her car like a maniac and managed to stay alive at such throwaway recklessness. And the character which I thought was the icing on the cake, was Jack Carpenter’s Rich as the movie buff spouting and enacting countless of movie dialogue and references, while reliving a classic movie moment from Robin Hood.

But all those aside in a story that unravelled itself in one night. Two aspects of the film made it a winner for me. The first was when Denis uttered “You’re not Beth Cooper”. That hit like a sledgehammer because it represented so succinctly the kind of affection that Denis had for his crush – based on a very superficial exterior, without any inkling of who the person exactly is, which of course sets up plenty of pitfalls as that exterior got stripped away every moment he spent those crazy times with her. That perfect being sprung from his unilateral imagination is far, very far from the real thing.

The second is when Beth expressed her fear of the unknown, which is something that really brought out the sincerity of the character. Her shenanigans for the entire night got addressed, and did allow Beth to be a tragic character of sorts, knowing her place in this materialistic, pragmatic world where her “talent” or lack thereof, sent shivers down her spine knowing that her crazy-cool persona could no longer hold water once outside the confines of the high school community.

These are precisely the moments that sold, and I was indeed surprised since what I was in for, was one of those mediocre run off the mill teen movies. Larry Doyle’s story had a lot more undercurrents going for it than many would have liked to believe, and Chris Columbus, through a no-frills style, had delivered just that, allowing one to find balance in being entertained, as well as having some takeaways for further mulling over.
